This piece of documentation looks to be now out of date; it mentions a
"test or range of tests", but that only covers a two of the now four
ways to describe a test.

Personally, I had read "test or range of tests" as general enough to
cover all the cases (I would have agreed that "test *number* or range
of tests" would sound out of date), and just left it.  However, if
there's something clearer, I'm happy to adopt it.  Do you have an
alternate wording suggestion?

Maybe "test selectors"? You could even say something like "test
selectors (e.g., the test number, a range, a substring/regular
expression)". I don't know, though; I don't feel strongly about it.

Thanks,
